Even though he had just seen the deep red in the handkerchief, Jing Yuchen firmly believed that the scene just now was just a fake show directed and performed by the emperor himself.
He once played the role of a eunuch and clearly saw that the emperor had a rosy complexion.
Did the emperor take the medicine or not?
Jing Yuchen frowned slightly and followed.
When they arrived outside the Palace of Heavenly Purity, the eunuch saw Jing Yuchen and reluctantly advised, "Prince, the Emperor is not feeling well today. It is really not appropriate for him to see you!"
"Because the emperor is ill, I, as his son, should go and see him! Stay by his side and take care of him!"
The eunuch stayed by Jing Yuchen's side the entire time, unwilling to let him go: "Prince, please don't embarrass this old slave."
Jing Yuchen knelt down on the ground without saying a word.
Obviously, he would not stand up until he saw the emperor.
The eunuch sighed and turned to walk into the hall.
Inside the palace, the eunuch walked over and reported, "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince has knelt outside the palace."
"Then keep kneeling!"
The emperor was currently in the palace eating the fruit that Mei'e had peeled for him, and he didn't show any sign of weakness as he had just now.
The eunuch was silent for a while before he spoke: "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince and Princess Tianmi are still engaged. It would be bad if the Crown Prince got frozen during this period."
The emperor looked at the eunuch with displeasure.
"If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten about Princess Tianmi. It seems a bit strange that she didn't come to the banquet held in the palace."
Mei'e sat aside and said with a smile: "What's so strange about this? The prince was drunk and wanted to tease the princess. The princess knew that the prince would definitely come to the family dinner today, so she deliberately avoided him."
"My beloved concubine is right!" The emperor tapped Mei'e's nose, but soon fell silent again. "But, the two are about to get married. Can she hide away for a while, or forever?"
The emperor stroked his goatee and finally told his eunuch, "I think there's something fishy going on. Send someone to the princess's house to investigate thoroughly."
"Yes." The father-in-law obeyed the order and went back to do it.
Seeing Jing Yuchen still kneeling on the ground, he just shook his head helplessly and walked away.
After the people who were investigating outside the palace came back, they told the emperor that everything was normal inside the palace.
Although the emperor found it strange, he did not pursue the matter any further. "She is so coy. I wonder what excuse she can use to postpone the next wedding!"
Jing Yuchen, who was kneeling outside the palace and asking for an audience, seemed to have been forgotten. He knelt until the second half of the night. Snow began to fall from the sky. Seeing Jing Yuchen's body gradually covered with white snow, the palace servants went to report to the emperor again.
The emperor was in the palace at this time, warmed by the stove and feeling as if it were spring. He had no idea how cold it was outside. He was very displeased when he heard the report from the palace maid.
"If he is ill, then take him away and hand him over to the Imperial Hospital. Why do you have to disturb my rest for such a thing?"
"But Your Majesty, if the Crown Prince becomes seriously ill, who will handle the affairs of the court?"
The emperor was originally very sleepy, but now he sat up unhappily: "Go, go and bring the person in!"
Jing Yuchen was led by his eunuch into the palace. The warmth in the palace gradually dispelled the coldness in his body.
He was about to kneel down to pay his respects to the emperor, as the bed curtains had already been drawn back. "Prince, I am fine. I have Consort De and the imperial physician with me. I believe I will feel better soon!"
"You rest over here. I've asked the imperial kitchen to make you some ginger soup..."
Afterwards, Jing Yuchen sat aside waiting for the ginger soup to drive away the cold. A palace maid came from outside the hall and brought him the ginger soup.
Jing Yuchen had just looked around and didn't see any elixir placed somewhere. He took a deep sniff but couldn't smell the fragrance of elixir either.
After finishing the ginger soup, Jing Yuchen stood up and walked towards the bed. "Father, you have been ill and bedridden these days. I have many memorials that I am unsure about and need your review."
"As for those folk rumors, I also hope that Father will not actually take the elixir. There is no such thing as an elixir in the world. It's just nonsense..."
The bed curtains were still drawn low, and from within came the emperor's extremely impatient voice: "I am only suffering from a cold now, and it has nothing to do with the elixir. As for the memorial, I give you the authority to handle it fully. You don't need to ask me any questions."
The emperor's voice sounded a little weak, but Jing Yuchen knew that it was just a pretense.
Then Jing Yuchen walked away.
The emperor waited until Jing Yuchen left before he lifted the bed curtain and looked at the eunuch standing beside him: "What exactly are those memorials? Have you seen them?"
"How dare this old servant look at it? But the memorial is still in the palace. Your Majesty, do you want to see it? This old servant will bring it to you right away!"
The emperor read through the memorials one by one and closed them. They were all about mobilizing troops. If Jing Yuchen had any intention of rebellion, he could take the opportunity to mobilize the troops or even use them for his own purposes...
And now he is a sickly person, Jing Yuchen can take advantage of the opportunity to rebel, and the chances of success are very high!
The emperor raised his lips slightly. Whether Jing Yuchen should stay or not depends on Jing Yuchen's final choice.
The next day.
Jing Yuchen had some difficulty getting up. He felt dizzy and a little weak.
I was freezing for half the night yesterday, but I couldn't stand it anymore.
But news came from the Zou Mansion that Ni Yueshan had abdominal pain and might be in labor.
Jing Yuchen was originally in a daze, but now he became a little more sober. He strode out.
The housekeeper standing beside him couldn't help but remind him, "Prince, there are a few more stalls outside the Prince's Mansion. I think they are all the Emperor's people. If you leave the mansion now and go to the General's Mansion, I'm afraid the Emperor's people will get suspicious, and then all your efforts will be wasted."
